Woman recounts assault amid marriage dispute trial

Plaintiff describes defendant forcing his way into her home and restraining her with his hand over her mouth during a night visit. Witnesses, including Mrs McGill and Mrs Bray, testified to repeated attempts to coerce settlement and threats about deeds and money. The defense argued consent or force, while lawyers pressed whether the act constitutes a criminal offense and if the civil case should proceed. The testimony raised questions of jurisdiction and the judge’s role in determining sufficiency of evidence. The court adjourned to continue proceedings.
